The deepening of integration processes between the countries of Europe and Asia, the need for regular and mass passenger and freight traffic contributes to the increasing importance of transport systems. In this context, railway infrastructure, which ensures the uninterrupted operation of industrial complexes in many countries of the world and contributes to the development of international cooperation, acquires particular importance. This is also true for the railway transport of Ukraine, which is a connecting element between the transport systems of the EU, Russia and Asian countries. The paper substantiates that the sustainable functioning of railway transport is one of the necessary conditions for the development of national economies. The system of external and internal determinants of railway transport sustainability is highlighted. These determinants are analyzed on the example of railway transport in Ukraine. It is shown that external determinants form the basis of the functioning of railway companies, which also affects their internal determinants. Management of railway transport sustainability should be comprehensive, which will allow developing an effective set of preventive measures.

Šiame straipsnyje nagrinėjamos esminės teisinės problemos, kurios skatina sukurti bendrą vežimų geležinkeliais, kai vežimai atliekami tarp Europos Sąjungos ir Azijos šalių, reglamentavimą. Ši analizė pirmiausia yra reikšminga Lietuvos vežėjams, nes Lietuva yra tranzitinė valstybė, kurioje gali būti taikomi du skirtingi teisės aktai – 1999 metų Vienodųjų tarptautinio krovinių vežimo geležinkeliais sutarties taisyklės (CIM) ir 1951 metų Tarptautinio krovinių vežimo geležinkeliais susitarimas (SMGS). Taip pat identifikuojamos naujai sukurto bendrojo CIM / SMGS važtaraščio teisinės problemos bei numatomi galimi teisiniai sprendimo būdai, kurie leistų užtikrinti vežimo teisinių santykių stabilumą bei tolesnę plėtrą. This article explores the core legal problems, which promote the creation of a common regulation of the rail transport, when the carriages are executed between the EU and the Asian countries‘. This analysis is first of all at a great importance for Lithuanian carriers’, as Lithuania is a transit country, in which two different laws – Uniform Rules Concerning the Contract for International Carriage of Goods by Rail (CIM) and Agreement concerning. International Freight Traffic by Rail (SMGS) – can be applicable. Also the legal problems of the new developed common CIM / SMGS consignment note are identified and the legal solutions, which would ensure the legal stability of the carriage legal relations and further development, are provided.

Transport Potential

Planning the range of transport services in the selected geographical area is particularly relevant in the context of developing integrated transport systems. The aim is to build a sustainable public passenger transport system as an alternative to individual transport. Realizing quality and efficient transport services is a comprehensive process, though there are currently no applicable principles of its proposal and creation in terms of creating the appropriate range of railway infrastructure. The paper presents the general research results focused on solving the problems of transport services in the regional passenger railway transport. The gravity model allows the study of the dependence between the population in the adjacent area, the availability of stops and the length of the transport line. A part of the research is to adjust the inputs of this model to more accurately determine the range of railway infrastructure. Based on the research of the palette of railway lines, the necessary capacity of infrastructure in terms of ensuring the required number of trains in peak hours is adjusted. The output is a proposal of the session to the calculation of transport potential and subsequently its practical application. Finally, based on its resulting values, it is possible to adjust the transport concept to set up a more efficient and higher quality timetable.

The implementation of the strategy of re-industrialization of national economies is now the main trend in both Europe and Asia. In this context, railways are of great importance, as a mode of transport, capable of carrying large volumes of cargo and passengers with a sufficiently high speed. Special attention is paid to the innovative development of transport corridors connecting Europe and Asia to a single transport network. Mainly this paper is devoted to the financial aspects of the development of Ukrainian railway infrastructure, which has a significant transit potential. It is shown that underfunding of renewal of fixed assets of railways leads not only to the intensification of current problems, but to the formation of problems that will have a decisive influence in the future. The high cost of projects related to the innovative development of the railway infrastructure necessitates the attraction of private capital. The types of public-private partnership models as a mechanism for investment financing are considered. It has been determined that for the railway transport the most feasible are the BOT (build-operate-transfer) and BOOT (built–own–operate–transfer) models, which allow to ensure the innovative development of strategic infrastructure sites and maintain its integrity, by keeping it in state ownership.

Required Quality

Current geopolitical and economic conditions for the functioning of railway transport in most post-Soviet states are such that it is extremely difficult to provide required quality of transport services and break-even operations at high expenses for maintaining the railway infrastructure and rolling stock. Dynamics of transportation of the Tajik Railway (TSR) is shown, which displays that most of its sections are classified as low-intensity ones. The paper proposes methodical principles, setting and qualitative analysis of the task of rationalization of operational work and organization of car flows for international transportation, taking into account the specifics of the Tajik Railway. There is a problem of complex maintenance of the efficiency of operational work in modern conditions based on the synthesis of the tasks of self-management (rational internal operational technology of the Tajik Railway) and coordination tasks (technological interaction with railway administrations of other states). Author substantiated the necessity of solving this problem. Proposed classification of technological restrictions and controlled variables in the performance of transport takes into account methods for changing external conditions for the functioning of the railway landfill and methods for increasing internal efficiency of its operation. The search for the solution of the problem involves direct search of variants along its ordered set with clipping of groups of variants that do not correspond to constraints, with the subsequent finding of compromise control over a set of effective alternatives.

Background: The purpose of the study was to compare  trends in the progression of COVID-19 among South Asian countries with more developed Western countries. Methods: COVID-19 data from South Asian countries were used for this observational study. Data were taken up to April 21, 2020 from the outbreak of the COVID-19. Four of the seven countries met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Results: An exponential increase in the average number of weekly cases was reported after the fifth week following the first case. The correlation between reported cases and tests was found to be strong and significant (r=0.90, p=0.037). However, on average, 315.25 tests per million population were performed, which was at least 12 times lower than the number of tests performed in countries with a large number of COVID-19 cases. Conclusions: At present, the number of confirmed cases from South Asia was found to be significantly lower than in Western countries. Hence, an increase in the strength of performing diagnostic tests is highly recommended. Strict measures are required to make the people of these countries follow the instructions of social distancing and comply with preventive measures.

Carbon Transport

Low-carbon transport is a priority in addressing climate change. Transport is still almost totally dependent on fossil fuels (96%) and accounts for almost 60% of global oil use. Sustainable transport systems, both passenger and freight, should be economically and technically feasible, but also low-carbon and environmentally friendly. The calculation of greenhouse gas emissions in transport projects is becoming a primary target of transport companies as a part of an endeavor for low-carbon strategies to reduce the energy demand and environmental impact. This paper investigates the CO2 impact of construction and operation of the main highway and railway line infrastructure in Greece, which connects Athens and Thessaloniki, the capital and the second biggest city in Greece respectively and provides a comparative analysis in roadway and railway transport.
